Frozen Math Game

We played a frozen addition and subtraction game today in our math stations! Props to our math coach, Mrs. Mayfield, for making the game for us! 

Santa's Elves Love to Write!

Christmas Math Scavenger Hunt

We put on our thinking caps today as we searched around the room to solve answers to math problems. We had to use a variety of tools and strategies that we have learned so far this year. 

Grinch Day

The cutest, sweetest group of grinches!

Special Guest

Some expert 4th graders came to teach us about famous inventors today! We loved learning about biographies and about what it means to become a leader. 

Biography Summaries

We began our biography study this week! We read Helen Keller yesterday, and today we are writing summaries using some questions about the characteristics of biographies. 

Fire Safety

We went to our annual fire safety prevention program today! We learned how to stay safe in case of a fire. The fireman left us with some prizes that we will be bringing home today. We bundled up and braved the cold weather to check out the fire trucks. 

Two Digit Subtraction

Last week, we began learning to subtract a two digit number minus a one digit number. This week we will move into subtracting 2 two digit numbers. Here is a chart we made today showing how we model subtracting a two digit minus a one digit number with base ten blocks and the stacking method. 

Please notice that you only represent the first number in the subtraction problem with this method. 

Sign Language

We had a special visitor today! Mrs. Enloe is the 3K teacher at our school and she knows sign language! When she heard that we would be learning about Helen Keller in our biography unit, she was eager to come teach us about sign language so that we would have a better understanding of how Helen Keller communicated. 

Sharing our Projects

We had a great chance to practice our speaking and listening skills today while everyone shared their habitat projects! Today was so great because we learned so much from one another! Miss Parris learned all sorts of things too! My proudest moments in the classroom are when my students are teaching me ; )!
